Definitely, we should not mark CVE as "end-of-life" before we agreed to
mark it as such in debian-security-support...
That said for vlc I think no customers expressed any need for that
package.
So I think we can stick to this decision and actually put it into
debian-security-support, even if we are going to support libav...
because vlc has many security issues of its own and contrary to libav
it's not a reverse dependency for many packages AFAIK.

And announce those changes at the same time ideally.
